Intel core duo?
So is the Mac Intel Core Duo the same intel chip as the ones in, let's say, a Toshiba or Gateway pc laptop with Core Duo chips? I don't see why not.
Windows XP
Yep, same one.

Identical.
It's the T2500 to be more specific.
Well, T2400 for the 1.83 and T2600 for the 2.16 to be more specific. 😉
Is it to much of a stretch to think it's the T2500 for the 2.0 ?
Well actually, I know there is the intel centrino core duo and then there is the intel core duo, maybe just a small change in architecture IDK.
I believe they call it 'Centrino' because it is packaged with the Intel chipset and Intel wifi adapter. The three together qualifies it as 'Centrino'.
Wrong.
Load windows on your MacBook Pro, and look at the specs found by Windows.
Here I'll show you want it says verbatim:
Genuine Intel(R) CPU
T2500 @ 2.00GHz
998 MHz, 1.48GB of RAM
Only difference is I have 1.5GB of RAM.

Wrong. Centrino chips are different from Core Duo chips, they are low voltage chips. HOWEVER they just released the Centrino Duo chips, the model numbers start with "L".

You didn't notice that the Centrino Duo page links to the the Core Duo page? Click on the
Intel Core Duo Processor link in the components box on the right side. I think you will find that the Centrino Duo uses a Core Duo as one of it's components.

Actually, I believe reflecting "duo" - in Windows, I get T2600 @ 2.16GHz - TWICE!
Ir looks like rhia:
Genuine Intel(R) CPU
T2600 @ 2.16GHz
T2600 @ 2.16GHz

It's part of the same family, but the chips we have are the "T" model range, where as the Centrino DUO chips are the "L" model range. The "L" stands for low voltage.

Link? I don't see anything like that on the page. And those low power chips have very low clock speeds, 1.5 GHz and 1.66 GHz. Most Centrino Duo laptops are in the same speed range as the MacBook Pro. I think you are misreading something.

Has anyone heard or read anything about a possibility of running mac os X on a "windows based" machine like a dell that has a intel core duo???
